“As far as we understand, the United States has a fair amount of influence on the decisions of the Ukrainian leadership ... From this point of view, we understand that the Americans could have such an influence.
At the same time, we state that so far no such influence has been exerted, ”Peskov said.
He also noted that the Kremlin agrees with the statement of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who previously called the progress in resolving the conflict in Donbass negligible.
“Absolutely,” said Peskov.
For this, he said, Kiev must be encouraged to comply with the Minsk agreements.
Previously, Peskov said that the issue of Kiev's implementation of the Minsk Agreements could become one of the topics of a possible meeting between the Presidents of Russia and Ukraine Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.
